Argentine Republic Wool.

WASHINGTON, December 27.-Consul
Baker in report to the Department of
State, in regard to the wool produc-
ton of the Argentine Republic says
that the amount of wool shipped from
there to the United States annually is
becoming less. The cause of this, he
says, is in great part due to the fact that
the United States tariffs. unintention-
aily, but very unjustiy, discriminates
against such woods from the Republic,
in favor of those from Australia, New
Zealand, etc. Oar system OF computing

the Argentine Republic, which it IS
now possible to. ship under our own
tariff, are the Creols or long carpet

which are shipped from Rosari, ana
which amount to about 1000, 900

special from Reading says: The strike
has developed an unpleasant sentiment
between the KNIGHTS of Labor and
Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers.
The latter, it is reliably stated, offered
to furnish all men that might be
needed to take out trains.
Thera are 175 engineers in
this t@y and vicinity, all Brotherhood
men. who were discharged by the
former president of the Reading Rail
road, Fran kiln B, Gowen. Their places
were taken by non-union men, who
now belong to the Knights Of
Labor. | he latter were then known
as escabs." and for long
time, there was g bitter feeling in the
community against them, especially as
riots during thu strike of 1877, in this
city, resulted in an attack by the
Fourth Regiment, n. G s., in which
about dozen men were killed and sew
enty-five or eighty wounded, and
families which suffered and their
sympathisers have never forgiven
the men who took the place of Brother
hood Engineers. All engineers en-
ployed on the Rsa iilg Railroad prior
to tbs trouble of 1877, are being heard
from. They desired to return to their
first love, " and were anxious for re-
Tenge.

That Gift.

WASHINGTON, December 28.-The
Post, tomorrow, will print the following
with reference to the Presidents gift to
the Pope: 1T is learned from an
official source that President CIeve-
lands gift of copy of the Constitution
of the United States to Pope Leo Kill,
on the occasion of the golden jubilee of
his ordination as priest, was suggested
indirectly by the holy father himself.
When Cardinal Gibbons returned from
Rotne, last summer. he brought a very
cordial and congratulatory message
TO President CLEVELAND from the Pope
on the success of his administration,
and well wishes for him personally.
The Pope in his interviews with Car
dinal Gibbons, expressed much salts
faction with our Constitution, and
great interest in it's operation. This
suggested to the President the char
acter of the gift. No letter was sent
with it, but on the fly leaf in the Pres
ident's handwriting, is an inscription,
presenting the book to the Pope on the
tiftieth anniversary of his entry into
the prizes thOo6.

Grain crop of Europe.

WASHINGTON, December 27.-Edmund
Jussel, consul-genersl at Vienna, has
transmitted 70 the Department Of
State certain data gathered from re-
ports of the International Seed and
Grain Convention, recently held in that
city, relative to the condition of Euro
rean cereals. In Austria Hungar
the yield OF wheat for the year 1887 is
estimated at III ,000,00 bushels. an in
crease of nearly 25 per cent. over the
average yield OF thai Country; lS5 Geo.
900 bushels is the estimated yield Of rye,
also considerable increase. The cropof

barley is of excellent quality, bat the
crop of oats IS poor and prospect OF pc
tatoes not very promising, In Scandl-
navIan countries. an average amount of
wheat is produced, but rye and oats fall
far below the average. Tue wheat crop
of Italy IS poor, and the import demand
of the country for cereals Will amount
to ABOUT 30 COCO bushels. The corn
crop is above the average and the coun--
try will have surplus for export. The
wheat crop of Switzerland and Holland
IS above the ,.verage, while that
OF northern Russia is low. The wheaf
crop vi France is large, but consider
able quantity of wheat must be i'm
ported to meet the home demand, as
he quantity in store is very light. In
treat Britain and Ireland, the average
wheat crop is expected. The to,al
weld IS estimated at from 80 GOO 600 TO
100000 600 quarters, so that after de-
Quoting, 80 0U0, 600 to 80 000 COO quarter9

the importation of from 10 500 coo to

is believed TO be very nearly
exhausted, and foreign wheat IN
stone in England is quite limit3d. Bar
ley will yield 10 per cent less than the
usual average. Oats Is per cent. less,
ana beans and peas from 40 to SO per

An Apneal to Get Back

READING, Pa, December q. - So
promptly were coal cars taken on to
Port Richmond and unlosded that to-
night the first empty coal trains passed
throagh Reading, bound for the coal
regions. The most exciting scenes of
the strike were witnessed this afternoon,
when about twentyfour of the Old
Brotherhood engineers, who were
obliged to leave the company's employ
iu 1877, we've given engines and perman-
eat positions. They took the places of
engineers who either failed to re-
port because they live too far
away, o had refused to take their
engines and were peremptorily dis
charged. Every man who had during
the past week refused TO obey orders,
or who i left his post because of
Knights of Labor orders, was refused
employment. There were quite mum
Der of these, and some of the appeals
made to get back were pitiful TO behold.

LONDON, December N.-Replying TO
an address presented to him at Dover,
by Lib raj delegations, Gladstone re-
ferred to the uncertain character of
Lord SaIisbury's declarations in refer
ence to free trade, and said they indi-
Gated, as far as a majority in Pailia-
ment is concerned, that free trade is in
Secure. He relied upon the masses OF
the people to oppose return to pro
lection. The coming session did
not promise well for the country,
if it were true that the grea
measure of the coming sesSion-a
loca government bill, would n0r be in
rroduc. d until April. Government
would i.fiict an undisguised mockery
on the country. The last was dark
session, put this would be made darker,
unless something was done to alleviate
the stu 8tion in Ireland. The darkest blot
upon Parliament was the act now in
operation. The Irish Liberal was
charged with interfering With the ad-
ministration of law, what he was really
trying do was to retard governments
destructive policy of the provision of
law. 1t was we'll for them that they
were on the right side of
the Channel Ii the Christian
knowledge Society, IN seeking
to promote justice, mercy and t-uth
were publishing in Ireland book ap-
plying those principles to that IN
happy country, they would be subject
to criminal prosecution. Lord Salisbury
talked about consolidation Of the En-
pire, while pursuing policy of national
disruption. How, the speaker asked,
could that be policy of consolidation.
which disregarded centuries of national
tradition and opposed the will of 1000
600 out of 5000, 900 OF people. Ireland
only continued within bounds OF moder-
alton because she knew that she had
the sympathy of friends In England.
So long as her moderation continued,
SO long would sympathy be continued.
Not long could any government face
unanimous people. With the sin lie
exception of the Belfast council, all
election authorities sided with home
rule. The foreign imported government
stood alone. The Liberals term of
minority in Pa. lament would cease at
the first election. Their appeal lay
with the country. The party has never
inscribed on its banner the name of
cause, without carrying it through:
Having taken mp the cause of Ireland

Lower California.

CITY OF mexico, via Galveston, De-
cember 27.-The question of the policy
of allowing Americans to COLOMBO Lower
California continues to be agitated, the
opposition taking the ground that the
administration of President Diaz, in
its cordially toward Americans,
forgets the result of permitting
American colonization in Texas. Cen
ersl Pacheco, minister of public works,
replies in pamphlet. showing that no
danger from American colonization
EXIST, and in fact that Americans are
in a large minority in the Territory
of Lower California. He argues
that the separation of Texas
from Mexico was brought about
not by Americans, who had
gone there to settle but by adventures
who had fQaked INTO the State from
the United yates. He takes liberal
view of American colonizl and
intimates Sat it is too Lite 10 the
century to begin to show DIRE i of a
friendly and neighboring nation.

was reac ed after conference with

that such a plan would be entirely

trouble is anticipated. Nearly all the
EMPLOYEES reported for duty promptly
a. Z O'Clock at various depots and
freight yards as well as those employed
at the coal wharYes at Port Richmond.
The work of moving coal trains and
transferring from cars TO the vessels at
the wharf was a. once began, and thera
was very little evidence OF great strike
which for the past few days mas threat
ened TO p8ralyZe the business of the en-
tire Reading Reiir0ad system. Quite a
number of employees in various
branches iailed TO report, but officials
state that tn 5se have perhaps been eel
ebrating Christmas too enthusiastically,
and their places Will be kept open for
them few days.
Superintendent Sweigart, this morn
ing, denied the statement that he had
agreed with the Knights to submit dis
puted questions TO arbitration. He said
the company would not take back the
men who were discharged for refusing
to deliver cars to TaylOr's elevator.
General manager Mcleod. of Phila-
delphia, this afternoon. said the report
that the Reading company had agreed
to arbitrate is absolutely false. There
is nothing to discuss, much less arbi-
trate. The men discharged were not
and will not be taken back. The new
men employed when the old ones went
out will not be discharged to make
room for the old ones, and al the latter
have oeen notified that, if any desire to
retain their places, they must return to
work Immediately anu unconditiOnally

Besides, the leaders at Port Richmond,
who brought On the strike, have been
discharged, and W II not be allowed
